Report writer text characters color

In Report writer I would like to be able to change character color in a
textbox for only a range of characters from a start position, to a length.
Smilar to the way we do it in Office development. I am only able to set the
entire textbox to a single color. Any Suggestions would be great?Maybe create 2 text boxes and do not have any space between them.
Make one box one color and the other box another?

Make 2 text boxes with no space between them.
Put a substring(x ,y ,yourfield) with one color in one box and
substring(y+1,z,yourfield) in another color in the second box.

Report Viewer - Export to PDF - Problem in strikethrough font

Hi,

I used a textbox with strikethrough font in my report. In preview, the report has that font and also in Print. But exporting to PDF has no strikethrough font. (Export to excel has this font). Can anybody help to resolve this.

Thanks in advance.

The PDF renderer does not currently support the strikethrough style on fonts.

Report Title Help

How can I make my report title width the same as the table? The table can hide some columns based on the If/Else logic, but Report Title textbox is always static. What happens is that my table can be longer or shorter then my title.

Thanks

You can add an outermost table with two header rows to your report. Put the report title textbox in the first row, and the table you currently have into the second row. That way, the title textbox will grow or shrink based on the width of the inner table.

Report server viewer renders incorrectly but exporting yields correct output!

I have a rather complicated report with lots and lots of textbox and line controls. When I preview the report on the Report Server the layout is all kinds of skewed and all kinds of stuff is out of place. But when I export the report to PDF or TIFF, the output reverts to it's proper form. Why is it doing this? Is there anything that I can do to not make it so ugly when previewing?

Does it seem like there are line feeds where there really shouldn't be? Try changing the width of your report.

The line controls have been an issue for me. In my layout I have a couple of lines that extend past where they would logically go then when I previewed in VS the line would be well short of where I wanted, and then when I exported out to PDF it rendered fine. Now I am loading the reports onto a Report Server and getting an even crazier preview output.
